Caraway Nonstick Ceramic Frying Pan (2.7 qt, 10.5") - Non Toxic, PTFE & PFOA Free - Oven Safe & Compatible with All Stovetops (Gas, Electric & Induction) - Black

Love, love, love this pan. No more cleaning stuck on food and best of all, it simply wipes clean with a soft sponge or cloth. I am going to purchase another pan in a different size.

I have been doing some research on the impact forever chemicals has on our bodies and decided to try companies who do not use those chemicals in their cookware. I have gone from using Calphalon - for over a decade- to Caraway. I truly didn’t know what I was missing! While the price was a bit of a shock, the heat distribution as well as the nonstick quality is perfection. I don’t need to use oil or butter, and it cleans easily- leaving a nice glittery effect to the pan. Not having the forever chemicals that negatively impact our bodies as well as our environment, is a huge factor as well. I have cooked pancakes and crepes so far and have been 100% happy with the results. They are restaurant quality all due to the pan. My kids have even commented on how fluffy and perfect the food’s texture is compared to the Calphalon cookware. It’s worth every penny!

I have been looking for frying pans without PTFE coatings for quite a while. I also don't like really light weight pans, because they heat up too fast and it is easy to burn whatever you are cooking. I have always liked frying pans with heavy bottoms because they heat slowly and cool down slowly so it is easier to maintain a steady heat and not burn what I was cooking (I hate burned eggs or eggs stuck to the pan). Cast Iron would fulfill my needs, but I do not have the patience required to condition and properly care for cast Iron. The ceramic coated pans I had found in the past were all thin light weight aluminum, so I was left with my PTFE coated, heavy weight pan. Then I found the Caraway Company's web site and found the pan of my dreams. I purchased it from Caraway through their Amazon store because I would get it faster than ordering from their web site. What I love about this pan usually called Pros: It is heavy weight so I can fry the way I like to work. The ceramic coating is actually slipperier than my old pan, so nothing sticks, as long as you add some oil or butter. The handle has a small bump to keep me from getting my hand too close to the pan and burning it. I particularly love the black pan with gold handle. I could buy a heavy glass top to cover the pan as needed, with a gold handle of course. Cons: The glass lid is extra It isn't cheap, but nothing worthwhile is. Like cast Iron this pan requires some TLC. When you wash it, it needs to be warm soapy water, and no scouring pads, so hand washing and not the dishwasher. Scouring pads and dish washing soaps can damage the coating. Add some oil or butter to improve the slipperiness. The really important one is do not heat the pan too high, I believe the max temp is 500 deg F, which shouldn't be a problem for most, if not all cooking. Also do not leave the pan unsupervised on the burner when the burner is on.

Greatest frying pan ever! Beats all types of pans cast iron, all clad, stainless steel and of course aluminum! Perfection in all departments as well as easy to clean!

Love this pan. Best non stick pan I have ever owned.
